Unable to open PR webview within VSCode

[kevinthenet]

When attempting to open a PR within the VSCode view, I receive the following error in a notification:

Error updating pull request description: Cannot read properties of null (reading '__typename')

The tab which opens never finishes loading:

• Extension version: 0.120.1
• VSCode Version: 1.105.1
• OS: MacOS Sequoia 15.6.1
• Repository Clone Configuration (single repository/fork of an upstream repository):
• GitHub Product (GitHub.com/GitHub Enterprise version x.x.x): Github Enterprise Cloud (I believe)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Within VSCode, click on the GitHub Pull request from the activity bar while on a branch with an open pull request in GitHub
2. See the "Changes in Pull Request" is populated with file changes for the pull request
3. Click on the PR title within the "Changes in Pull Request" tab

Additional Detail:

Below is the masked output for GitHub Pull Request, note there is no error message:

I've got the same issue. I've had the issue since last week I think. Can't show the PR summary/overview for any PR without getting the same error.

[DanielSenaDev]

I've got the same issue. Here the error occurs when I try to view the description/summary/overview

[ThanatosGit]

Same issue. Though you can create a PR and open it in the web view but never refresh it or reopen it again.

Packaged the plugin from source and it works.
Looks like it is already fixed but not released yet by 1f79dd6

[DanielSenaDev]

It's working again here

[grantith]

Same issue here.

[kevinthenet]

Seems to have resolved for me without an update to the extension as @DanielSenaDev mentioned. Will close this issue in a week unless this crops up again for me.

[csvn]

Still not addressed here. Maybe it's a backend fix they're rolling out gradually? I still get the error below for every PR in my project.

Error updating pull request description: Cannot read properties of null (reading '__typename')
